This store stays true to the contemporary yet serene aesthetic of Aesop, serving as a refuge to passersby and customers alike. The sustainably sourced spotted gum is used for the store’s walls, floors and shelving, as well as the distinctive perforated screens that line the shop’s interior walls. Deep basins and moody lighting only add to the tranquil environment of the store.
